Detours Into Unconscious Rhythms

CD (Item 551104) Wide Hive, 2001 — Condition: Used

CD

✈
A great new album from 70s funk guitar legend Calvin Keys! Calvin's more than kept his chops up over the years – and this tight little set sounds like it was recorded only a few years after his classic album for the Black Jazz label. Of course, it helps that Calvin's got some great help from 70s funky talents like drummer Ron E Beck, organist Chester Thompson, and vibist Roger Glenn, who also adds some of his funky flute to the session. But even more importantly, the album's recorded with a lean style that doesn't get in the way of the instrumentation – and which lets Keys stretch out solo-wise, hitting grooves that are far more complicated, and actually way better than any of his 70s work! A lot better than you might think – and the kind of "groove revival" session that we can wholeheartedly endorse! Titles include "Potholes", "Strutting Sole Kicks", "Aunt Lovey 99", "Perfection Is Instant Death", and "Urban Shaman".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
